Before Kai came home and for a while after he came home, we looked around quite a bit at online resources for people with limb differences, but it has become pretty much a non-issue for both the boys at this point in their lives so we don't think about it much on a daily basis. In the future we realize that they will probably develop interests which will probably require some kind of adaptive equipment or at least some creative problem solving on their part.

Shen's are lace-up shoes and Tina mentioned that he really wanted to tie them himself. We looked at each other, then wondered aloud if he or Kai would ever be able to do that. So I "Googled" up "tying shoes one-handed" and found some interesting resources online, some of which we had seen before, including some fun YouTube videos of people doing things one-handed. I thought it would be fun to start posting some of these here on the blog. Let's start with this one...
